About The Inciting Incident

The inciting incident and the dream are connected by one thing—a process I call dream tethering. Since I was a young man, I've always been fascinated by the transformative human journeys behind successful changemakers. As a successful writer behind some of today's most impactful books in the self-development industry, I continue to chase the next level of success, and I want to bring you the interviews and tools to help transform your life. These are the stories about how today's changemakers tethered to their dream. My name is Tim Shields, and this is the Inciting Incident.

Breaking the Loop to Become You with David Dayan Fisher | #56

What if the life you're chasing is blocked by a story you keep repeating? In this powerful anniversary episode, Tim welcomes back actor turned author and spiritual teacher David Dayan Fisher for a raw and deeply introspective conversation on healing, identity, and conscious evolution. From navigating childhood wounds to walking away from external validation, David shares how he transformed decades of pain into a practical framework for understanding the human experience through his books The Map and The Operating Manual to Life. Together, they explore what it really takes to break free from internal loops, trust your path, and step into your authentic self.

Track Your Reality, Change Your Life with Leigh Richards | #53

What if your thoughts were leaving clues for you every single day? In this episode, Tim sits down with entrepreneur and Quantum Body founder Leigh Richards, whose life took a dramatic turn after a sudden health crisis forced her to question everything she thought she knew about success, discipline, and healing. What began as burnout and confusion became a deep exploration into quantum physics, consciousness, and the unseen patterns shaping our lives. Leigh shares how following synchronicities and asking better questions led her to build Quantum Body, an app designed to help people track their thoughts, intentions, and manifestations in real time and reconnect with their power as creators. Key takeaways: * Why synchronicities are signals, not coincidences * How intention prevents drift and keeps you aligned * The hidden link between burnout, identity, and self connection If you have ever felt disconnected, stuck, or unsure of your path, this conversation will show you how to start noticing the signs that have been guiding you all along and turn awareness into action.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
